Rebecca Jo Gasker, 22, of Baltimore, told police she drank a 12-pack before crashing her car.

A woman told police she drank a 12-pack of beer before overturning her car on Interstate 83 in a crash at which Loganville Fire Chief Rodney P. Miller was directing traffic when he was killed by another alleged DUI driver.

Rebecca Jo Gasker, 22, of Baltimore, faces two counts of DUI, and also had both her license and registration suspended at the time of the April 27 crash, according to charging documents.

Diehl, 32, of Shrewsbury, has been charged with third-degree murder, homicide by vehicle while DUI and homicide by vehicle in the death of Miller, who was chief of the Loganville Volunteer Fire Company. Read his charging documents here.

Diehl's BAC was 0.116 percent when he was arrested hours after Miller, 45, of Seven Valleys, was killed while directing traffic away from Gasker's crash on Interstate 83 near the Glen Rock exit.

George Geisler, who made numerous DUI arrests as a police officer, now studies the issue as director of law enforcement services for the Pennsylvania DUI Association.

"It's unconscionable that somebody would make that decision" to drink and drive, he said. "If they would have all stayed at home, Chief Miller would still be there."

Gasker, who could not be reached for comment, has a preliminary hearing on July 10 before District Judge John R. Olwert.

Diehl has a formal arraignment in York County Court of Common Pleas on July 3.

Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Harold Fleming wrote in charging documents that at 12:15 a.m. April 27, he was sent to a one-vehicle roll-over crash on I-83 North in Shrewsbury Township.

Gasker, who had crashed a black 2001 Volkswagen Jetta, had already been flown to York Hospital, documents state.

At 3 a.m. that morning, Fleming spoke with Gasker at the hospital.

"Gasker related that she had consumed a 12-pack of beer prior to the crash," Fleming wrote.

Fleming said that during the interview, he saw that Gasker's eyes were glassy and bloodshot.

In the crash that killed Miller, police said he was directing traffic off I-83 South when Diehl drove his vehicle around Miller's parked emergency vehicle and struck the chief.

Police said the emergency lights on Miller's vehicle were flashing at the time. Diehl didn't stop driving until he came up against the crash from which Miller was directing traffic, according to court documents.
